I know you all probably think I'm kidding, but really - think how much fun that would be. I wonder if they take freelance.

I don't want to mislead you. I did not make those up. I actually did see them on the front pages of a couple of those tabloids in front of a confectionary kiosk in a mall. What a great job that must be.

I really love the one about the woman being too tall to fit on the page. I can just see some moron buying this thing, reading it and being amazed, and then sometime around 2:00am, suddenly sitting bolt upright in bed wondering about the pictures of buildings he saw in the same paper.
